Commanders Demote Whitt, Quinn Takes Defensive Play-Calling
The Washington Commanders defense, plagued by injuries and underperformance, has seen head coach Dan Quinn take over defensive play-calling duties from coordinator Joe Whitt Junior. This move, while not uncommon in the NFL, signals a demotion for Whitt and a desperate attempt to salvage a struggling season. The teams defensive line has been decimated by injuries, forcing them to rely on less experienced players, and the secondary has faced significant problems with inconsistent coverage and key player absences. While this change might offer a temporary boost, the underlying issues of injuries and roster depth are likely to persist, making long-term improvement unlikely.
